Ten years ago today, Melissa and I watched the sun rise at Gallipoli as, exactly 100 years before, the soldiers had rowed their boats ashore under Turkish fire at that very place. 2/

Everyone is wondering what Trump’s getting in return for recognising Putin’s annexation of Crimea, and Trump NEVER gives anything for free.
What are the chances that the quid pro quo is Putin’s recognition of an American invasion of Greenland?

According to Dutton, Trump is "a big thinker and a deal maker". Yeah, right.
What happened to Peace in Ukraine within 24 hours?
It's all very well to make big claims for what you're going to do: much harder to deliver on them.
Everybody knows Trump is full of shit, and so is Dutton.

Not in my neck of the woods, they aren’t. The only person who’s afraid is Dutton: afraid people won’t vote for him unless he stirs up trouble. What a sack of shit.
Vote for anyone else (except his fellow right-wing ratbags, of course).

Yes, we still remember that Dutton was a part of the worst government our nation has ever had.
A government in which the Prime Minister signed himself up as Minister for Everything without bothering to let the Australian people know what he was up to, or even his own Cabinet. /2

Mark Pilkington’s historic fuselage of 100-year-old Moth G-AUAE (later VH-UAE), the first of many to be exported from the UK and the first to be imported into Australia. This aircraft was imported by the Civil Aviation Branch (which became the Department of Civil Aviation). /2

Anybody need an RAF Test Set 6B (ex Lightning?). Last serviced at Binbrook in 1988. Free to a good home!
